TESS Daly posed with her stunning look-a-like daughter as she gave her a tour of the Strictly Come Dancing studios in her final series as host.
The BBC anchor and her eldest, 21, embraced the chance for a series of stunning snaps at London‘s Elstree Studios on Saturday, as the show’s Movie Week routines took over the stage.
Longstanding Strictly anchor Tess, 56, and co-presenter Claudia Winkleman, 53, announced their plans to step down from their iconic BBC telly role last month.
Since their bombshell news, a list of stars in line to replace the duo – who will wrap their Strictly duties on Christmas Day – has come to light.
Yet for now, Tess appears eager to embrace every last moment on the series.
The mum of two and Phoebe, who reached her milestone birthday in October, dressed to impress for their mum-and-daughter day out,
Tess donned a baby pink dress adorned with bows on the straps and styled her blonde locks in waves.
Her eldest, who she shares with BBC Radio 2 anchor Vernon Kay, opted for a splash of festive sparkle in a silver bodycon dress.
She opted for fresh make-up to show off her natural beauty and chose a similar hair-do to her mum.
They posed for a picture in Strictly’s ballroom before heading backstage for a cute snap in front of Tess’ dressing room, where they made a heart shape Emoji with their hands.
Tess posted the snaps to her Instagram page with the caption: “The in between moments.”
Another visitor to the studios on the night was former Strictly 2025 star La Voix.
She posed for a picture with Claud and Tess – leaving fans to speculate she is set to take over hosting duties from the pair.
HUGE CHANGE
Last month, Claudia and Tess got teary as they opened the first show since announcing they were quitting at the end of the series.
It came after The Sun revealed the real reason behind Tess and Claud’s shock departure.
All your Strictly Come Dancing winners
Strictly first kicked off back in 2004, and over the years has crowned 21 winners.
BBC bosses are said to have been blindsided by their departure, with only a small number of people in the TV industry made aware of their intentions.
It’s understood they secretly filmed the exit video weeks ago — and released it mid-series so as not to overshadow the eventual winner.
Their last show will be on Christmas Day.
A source said: “Claudia and Tess have known they were leaving Strictly since last year. They felt like it was their time to go.
“They discussed this privately and agreed they would walk away together, but kept it firmly under wraps.”
Their exit comes after the BBC show was hit by a string of recent scandals involving its professional dancers and behind-the-scenes conduct.
Plummeting viewing figures and “underwhelming” line-ups even prompted betting giants to offer odds earlier this year on this being the show’s final outing.
